## Disable automatic update check APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists
## which is the Debian default in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic.
##
## The execution time would be too predictable, thus make us fingerprintable.
##
## 20noperiodic comes after 10periodic in alphabet so it takes precedence.

## "[...] Each directory represents a configuration file which is split over multiple
## files. In this sense, all of the files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ are instructions
## for the configuration of APT. APT includes them in alphabetical order, so that the
## last ones can modify a configuration element defined in one of the first ones. [...]
